July 19: Children
This morning we set out by bus to visit the De Ji orphanage. Each of us has brought a gift for the orphans. The first picture was taken right after the children were assembled in the courtyard to greet us.
The second picture, of a Tibetan mother and her little girl, is one I took on our way to Barkhor Bazaar yesterday. That one is “posed:” some of the people on our tour had stopped to admire a Tibetan child. Both she and the mother were enjoying the attention as we clicked and clicked.
